The Use of the Sack.

A. J. Rhoads, of this city, through his at
torney, w. A. Anderson, has brought suit
in the Superior Court against W. B. Carr to
recover the sum of $780, with interest and
costs of suit. It seems to be understood
that this money was advanced to certain
members of the Legislature by plaintiff, in
the interest of defendant, while the subject
of irrigation was being considered during
the special session of the lawmakers in
1886. The complaint recites as follows:
l. That on or about the = day CT August
1886, at the city of Sacramento, at the in
stance and request of defendant, this plain
tiff paid to one Joseph Franklin the sum of
$500, also to one Peter Deveney the sum Of
$3.50, also J. Daily the sum of $50, and
julius Buhlert the sum of $50, all aggregat-
ing $3.50.
2. That in consideration thereof, the de-
PENDANT promised to pay each and all of
said sums so paid to plaintiff, to wit, the
sum of $780,
8. That since said payments at the re-
quest of defendant as aforesaid, this plain
tiff, prior to the commencement of this suit,
has frequently demanded the payment of
the same from the defendant but he has
not paid the same or any part thereof, and
the whole of said sum, to wit, $3.50, still re-
mains due, owing and unpaid from defend
ant to plaintiff.

The First Case.

The first case under the new law making
it grand larceny to steal dog, as it is to
steal other domestic animals, occurred in
this city yesterday. Mike Martin, proprie-
tor of a saloon on X street, between Front
and Second, has been the possessor of a
fine st. Bernard pup, for which he says he
would not have taken $50. Between 0 and
10 o'clock yesterday forenoon the dog dis
appeared from the saloon, and parties told
Martin that Patrick Mccoy, who had been
there a short time before, had been seen
enticing the dog to follow him. Martin
went in search of Mccoy and the dog but,
though he visited every place where his
man might be expected to be found, the
hunt was unavailing. About noon, how
ever, Mccoy returned to Martins saloon,
but minus the dog, and declared that he
knew nothing about the animal. Martin
determined to have him arrested, and was
about to send for an officer, when officer
Farrell appeared on the scene and made
Mccoy his prisoner. Martin, in narrating
the facts of the case. remarked, | read an
item in the RECORD UNION this morning
about the new dog law, and thought it a
good thing, but l had no idea l would be
first TO have use for it.r Farrell laughingly
SAYS that THIS first arrest under the new
law should swell his record finely, and
make him "solid" for reelection when
the Police Commissioners meet 10 select
officers for the next two years.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
FINE IMPROVEMENTS.

How Enterprising Merchants in sacra-
mento Improve Their Premises.
During the past year there have been
of and K streets, many of the old land
marks have been torn down and structures
of modern architectural beauty reared in
their stead. The discordant store fronts on
the southeast corner of Fourth and X
streets, then extending along X about one
third of the block Familiarity known to all
as the Mechanics Store, Weinstock d Luz
bin proprietors, have recently been replaced,
as if by magic, with one of the finest dis
play fronts on the coast, and does great
credit TO the enterprising proprietors.
at first glance the entire front, of up
wards of 120 feet on K street by 13 feet in
hight, appears to be composed of continu-
GUS plate glass, but on examination there
are found to be three large, magnificent en-
trance ways, with broad and deep vesti-
bules the floors Of which are white mar
Bile, with black and yariegated borders of
the same material, and with brass thresh-
olds. The great doors are of solid ma
hogany, hung with double-acting bronze
hinges. The immense show-windows are
three In number. Two of these are subdi-
compartments, with silver bars and revoly-
ing shutters coiling underneath their floors.
By this arrangement the three large wind
ows can be changed into seven, each larger
than the average-siZed show-window.
The iron and woodwork is richly deco
rated with ornamental thing in gold and
black. The entire sidewalk on K and
Fourth streets is covered with an awning
composed of corrugated iron, on which is
balcony four feet wide, protected by neat
wrought-iron railing, and supported by
substantial wrought-iron brackets, thus dis
pensing with the old conventional posts, Civ
ing light and airy effect, and full view
OF the entire front. The design reflects
credit on the architect, VIM. H. Hamilton,
of this city.
INTERIOR ARRANGEMENTS.
By the internal changes, notions, station
cry, jewelry and other goods of that class,
which formerly occupied cramped space
in the center of the store, have been moved
forward to a position backing the new
plate-glass front-a change which cannot
but prove of great convenience to the
patrons of the house. The space occupied
by notions is now used for baby
carriages, clocks, silverware, etc. In
the shoe room the shelving has
been extended to the ceiling. This
plan places the full line of sizes in any
shoe within quick reach OF the salesman,
and will thus facilitate the serving of trade.
One Of the most noticeable improve
ments is the doing away with the old arch
ways, which threw cross stream of traffic
through several departments. By the new
arrangement these departments present un-
broken lines of shelving, and henceforth
their trade will be conducted without the
fpfo Mi Of ha
whole basement floor is undergoing COM
plete change. Many lines of goods for
which customers have had to go down
stairs will hereafter be shown on the main
floor. The mail order department is to oc-
cupy the basement and main floor of the
newly-acquired property on the castillo
K street.

hold of the matter energetically, it can
without doubt be made a great success.

Washington Correspondence Baltimore Sum-
 few weeks since an ex-member of Con gress who had not been much in Washingtos for half dozen years or more, made his reappearance here, and it was not long before those who knew him of old discovered that times had sadly changed with him. He served several terms in Congress the rep resentative of one of the largest cities of the West; man of handsome appearance, agree able manners, and of much more than ordi- nary culture. He was bachelor and great favorite in society. His standing in the House was such that he was frequently called to the chair of the presiding officer, and for short period served as Speaker by election of the House. After leaving Congress he gave up his residence in the State which he had served and going to New York city estab lished himself in law partnership with an ex-member from New York and another gen. tleman, who had also tasted deeply of the pleasures of Washington life. All three of the partners were young, able, well con- nected and with scores of influential friends. Their business for time prospered and the future looked very bright. But extravagant ideas and convivial tendencies proved more attractive than the plodding cares of pro fessional life. Business neglected went to pieces, the firm was broken up, and it's mem bers drifted far out upon that sea of broken hopes and wasted opportunities, and the one above especially alluded to was finally washed ashore at the spot of his former glor- ies and triumphs. Since his arrival he has perforce been compelled to join the army of F'colonels judges and majors," and it is pitt able to see how soon he has learned to request a small loan and be promptly on hand when barroom invitations are going around.

THE BLUE GROTrO OF NAPLES.
Some Unfortunate Explorers Who Vel
 tured There Rashly.

tured There AaSHly.
 Correspondence Baltimore American
 A terrified English matron insisted on re- lating to me her all but fatal experience in the grotto, but having started from Naples with the hope of seeing the cerulean tint represented in the art magazines at Naples, I would not be discouraged. The sensation of lying flat in the boat to avoid complete i'm mersion while being carried into the opening at the base of the lofty bluff is not a most enviable one, and I confess our moments of delight were not enhanced by our jealous Capriotoe, who, seemingly to while away the tedium until a wave came to carry us in, with the most sanctimonious of expressions, related how many hundreds had been de- tained in the grotto for venturing therein when the sea was rough. A French painter had been imprisoned in the grotto four days, and lived only on a bottle of rum he had fortunately carried in his pocket. We were minus rum, but full of enthusiasm. We waited breathlessly for the moment to be launched into the grotto. With both hands against the mouth of the rock, the Capriote boatman watched his opportunity, and with tremendous wave we were carried into the spacious grotte, which is ffty-three meters in length, thirty-two in width and thirteen in height above the level of the sea, the depth of water being about twenty one me ters. The effect is dazzling. Every object it contained was bathed in exquisite blue tint, and all under the water seemed silvered.
 The water has a surprising effect on the human body, and for franc our boatman dipped into it, and on appearing his body was as white as silver, his face as black as a negro's. About the middle, on the right, there is 8 small passage with worn-out steps, now built up at the top, which is aid to have been secret communication with the town of Capri at the time of Tiberius. | Accor1ing to Valerv this supposition is correct, but the Prussian painter who dis covered the cave was led 10 seek it by reading of staircase by which Barbarossa used to descend into subterranean retreat from the town of Anacapri on the bill l As the tourist is indebted to the Prussiar

BOYCOTTING A GRIM E.

-
 The opinion of the Supreme court Of the State in the case against the coEsplrators who attacked the Darlington Publishing company for refusing to discharge faithful workmen from it's employ at the command of "a committee" is printed on the second page. Few opinions that have ever been given ln this State have been read with as much ln- terest as will be felt in this one.
 It is clear and pointed and makes very plain some matters which Judge Stoddard and the counsel for the conspirators left in doubt It declares that the motive of the conspirators was a selfish one, to gain an ad- vantage uniustly and at the expense ot oth- CTS, and therefore the act was legally corrupt. GAS means of accomplishing the purpose the parties intended to harm the Darlington Publishing company and therefore It was malicious" Concerning the purpose of the consp1rators to injure and oppress certain workmen employed by the Darlington Pub fishing company the opinion is plain and strong in condemnation.
 When it was announced that Judge Car penter was to write the opinion in this case the expectation was general that 1t would deal thoroughly and forcibly with the mat ter. This expectation has not been disap- pointed All the business men of the State and all the honest and free workingmen will be glad to see the law and their rights thus expounded and upheld.
